David Hamilton  

A Song of Ruth

Duration: 04' 00" Year: 1991
for SSA choir with oboe and strings

  • Programme Note

    This short anthem takes its text from the Old Testament book of Ruth. It is a statement of devotion and loyalty, and I have used the lines “Your people shall be my people and your God my God” as a refrain. To the biblical text I have added a concluding “Amen”.

    The original version (for SAB voices) was written for, and is dedicated to, Bruce Baker – a friend and musical colleague.

From the Mountains to the River

Duration: 03' 00" Year: 1991

  • Programme Note

    This work was inspired by The Scene from Arawata Bill by New Zealand poet Denis Glover. Originally one of three vocal works composed for Burnside High School chorale in the 1970s, it was later rewritten as a piano solo. The opening stanzas of the poem set the mood: “Mountains muzzle mountains / White-bearded rock-fronted / In perpetual drizzle. / Rivers swell and twist / Like a torturer’s fist / Where the maidenhair / Falls of the waterfall / Sail through the air.”
